Eee Pad Transformer 2 landing in October?

Asus reckons its Eee Pad Transformer is the best selling of the other tablets (you know what I mean), with around 400,000 units punted in the first half of space year 2011AD. Impressive stuff.

Notebook Italia recently suggested that a Tegra 3 and Windows 8-based sequel might be on the cards for April 2012, and it now says an Android-rocking successor might land even sooner than that. Much sooner.

The plucky Italians reckon that the Eee Pad Transformer 2 (as it’ll presumably be called) will land in October or November, complete with quad-core Tegra 3 goodness.

The Eee Pad Transformer 2 is expected to go for $399 in the States, with Asus making most of its profit from the keyboard accessory.

In the meantime, we’ve also got the Eee Pad Slider and 3G Transformer coming soon. As the name suggests, the Eee Pad Slider has a sliding QWERTY tucked behind its screen. Asus tells us they’ll both land in August.
